The instance is currently federated with every instance (including places like lemmygrad and explodingheads) as the current stance is defederation should be a last resort with users being able to choose what they want to see instead

Exploding heads has some very questionable content though so its status is currently being discussed by the admins

I understand the reasoning but I think it's not the same situation as lemmygrad, which I feel is a normal instance with an ideological bent. Exploding heads is just violent propaganda. I hope you defederate.

What about hexbear? Is programming.dev federated with them? Or are they intentionally defederated with everyone?

hexbear split off and has been running their own fork for awhile separate from the rest of lemmy (so they couldnt federate with lemmy instances). They are coming back now though so lemmy instances will start to be able to interact with them soon

Thanks for the info.

I understand the reasoning but I think it’s not the same situation as lemmygrad, which I feel is a normal instance with an ideological bent.

Lemmy grad actively denies Genocides. Lemmygrad says that that Tienanmen Square was fabricated by the U.S.

Lemmygrad consistently host antiwhite racism and then defends it by saying something like it's not racist because white people aren't real or something

Exploding-heads will poke fun at gender dysphoria in two communities, dank memes and dank taco.

EH is morally superior to lemmygrad in every way.

Finally,

You all should be using nostr where admins can't take your voice away or your right to hear opposing opinions.
